The innkeeper arrives at Rands door with more
invitations. This time from the two most powerful houses in
Cairhien. Hurin explains that these invitations can not be
ignored. Rand has to accept at least one, or assassins will
start coming after him. There is no way out of the city
without being attacked by Fain. The longer they stay, the
deeper Rand becomes tangled in Daes Daes'mar. When Rand
leaves the inn to see if Ingtar and the Shienarans have arrived to
bail him out, he returns to find that it's now a structure
fire. Hurin was attacked, and the chest stolen. Loial
and Rand manage to drag his unconscious form out of the building,
saving him from being burned alive. Verin, Mat, Perrin, and
the Shienarans arrive just a few minutes too late. We talk
about how Rand has fallen into the leadership role Moiraine placed
him in. Barthanes's manner was built in the last few years
right on top of an Ogier Grove. It has it's own Waygate and
that's where Fain is headed with the Horn and the Dagger, with the
Black Wind to guard his retreat. While Ingtar despairs over
the Horn, Rand tells Verin about the portal stone, and
Selene. Does Verin know that Selene is Lanfear? She has
all the clues, and has often understood more with less information.
She DOES manage to come up with the strategy though, that will
eventually get the Horn back. We believe the Pattern won't
let Ingtar get to the Horn, ever. Was Barthanes at the
infamous Darkfriend social? Was Verin? Could Rand have
channeled using only the Choedan Kal with out the access key, is
that possible?
